¿Por qué no los dos?

Just the same, the confidence to wear it in public is what really matters whether you still do or not. When you don’t give a shit, nothing can touch you. Total liberation. Except if there’s kids around. That just feels creepy lol.

I love this! That’s kinda how it started for me and now I’ve got a whole collection of them. Fun patterns and colors. They always get the laugh.

As long as the pouch on the front isn’t too constricting for my male bits and there isn’t too much material and stitching in the seam underneath, I agree. Just like anything, gotta find the right fit.

I’m American. Speaking about geopolitics at a five-year-old’s level is often far too advanced for many people. Sock puppets might help actually.

I didn’t think your original points seemed controversial enough to even be hills, but this ONE! This right here… I don’t even have a clue what it is.

Question about the first one. Do you consider English a living language that evolves over time?

To that point, do you ever phonetically say boatswain instead of bosun? Which way do you spell it? How do you (personally) pronounce Worcestershire sauce? How do you feel about onomatopoeias in general?

I would argue that words evolve with vernacular and sometimes the spellings become antiquated. In the case of Worcestershire sauce, pronunciation can vary greatly from spelling. If ketchup bothers you, are onomatopoeias even words to you?

Eventually, insisting on the old spelling becomes more ridiculous than going with the newer. Since you spell it catsup, can you bring yourself to use a squeeze bottle for it or are you still tapping that 57 hoping to get it to ooze?

Seriously though, since this is the hill you’ll die on, convince me otherwise about vernacular and spelling.

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcaniconiosis is English, but it is a medical word. The roots of it are Greek and Latin, like much of English. Are you aware of the etymology of antidisestablishmentarianism?

In English, I understand it to be pneumonoultramicropicsilicovolcaniconiosis, although I may have misspelled it from memory. It’s a medical condition resulting from inhaling fine particles of silica.

More like be grateful for what you’re given

Dad told me when I was young to “learn to drink your coffee black and cold and you’ll never be disappointed.”

I don’t think he was just talking about coffee.

I want to find theoccult.bz again

Emphatically no. I cut people concerned with jealousy out of my life. That shit’s toxic.

I’m over 30 and see true wealth as a measure of the love I give and receive. You can’t buy that.

Stopped biting my nails after about 35 years of tearing them to the quick. It wasn’t my first attempt, but when I successfully stopped, it was cold turkey. It’s been over four years now. I buy a new nail tool periodically to keep them looking good. I’m proud of them despite how trivial. The novelty of tapping on things and peeling stickers hasn’t worn off.

Why not just link to that to begin with? Does it not provide the image and title automatically or something?

Not to downplay the point of the article, but I personally know many people who needed GoFundMe for housing due to the hurricane that hit Western North Carolina. One of my best friends has one while also already having one for his cancer treatment because his insurance wouldn’t cover it. He’s been a teacher for 27 years, but I guess this treatment was too experimental (read: too high of a success rate.)

If you know anyone in WNC, don’t forget about them. We’re not okay. My wife and I saw an 85% nosedive in income during our busiest and most important time of the year. I’m grateful to have heat, walls and a roof, but I’m so so scared for winter. I’m just working as much as possible to keep us alive as we sink deeper debt. We have food assistance thanks to a wonderful nonprofit that we’ve always volunteered at and donated to every chance we can. We are also wealthier than many people, wealthier than most billionaires, because we have something money can’t buy: genuine, authentic relationships. We have deep friendships. We’re suffering and we need therapy, but we have shoulders to lean on. Nothing can replace that.

Is it just me or does the 12’ ladder not climb over this paywall?

So are you.

Right, it was more of a metaphor between the Fed and Apple

As an American, makes me think of real dollars backed by silver and gold and then everything else that’s been printed and printed and printed (and printed) since the 70’s. Same manufacturer.
